This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.

Well we're still here in Bethesda and still no travel set up yet. What we do know is that our names are on the list for the next flight out, whenever that might be. My guess is that we will here for tomorrow and then about noon o'clock we'll be notified that we're leaving early Saturday morning...FINALLY! Of course it could also be delayed until Monday, next week, but we won't go there.

Tonight Jason and I decided to head out to dinner, and fast food was not an option. We ended up going to The Cheese Cake Factory, as Jason had never been there before. It was actually kind of a last minute selection, since we were already at the mall, and there it was. We had a nice dinner and got a chance to talk about whatever we wanted to talk about and then we went off to the movies (er go the late blog post) and saw the Great and Powerful OZ. It was an entertaining movie, but I could have waited for the DVD to come out. I didn't think there was too much that had to be seen on the wide screen. As for the theater itself - it had "seating" for Jason in two locations, real close or in the back. We chose the back.

Now we're back at the apartment and both ready to go to bed... actually he's already in bed and I'm about to get there. Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers.
